The king killed the love of her life-and she's going to make him pay.
Step into this epic revenge tale a la The Count of Monte Cristo, based on the true story of France's most notorious lady pirate. By the author of The Empress-as seen on Netflix.
It's 1343 and Jeanne de Clisson is out for revenge.
At forty-three, her perfect life-a loving husband, three young children, and two castles in the French countryside-shatters when Phillip VI, the King of France, arrests and beheads her husband for treachery.
There's no evidence and no trial-only the execution. The nobles are shocked. The paranoid king is relieved. And Jeanne...
Jeanne wants the king's head on a pike.
To get justice, she'll take to the sea with a pirate fleet. But while she's burning castles to the ground and sinking merchant ships, the king is hunting her. And the closer she gets to her revenge, the closer the king gets to the people Jeanne loves most.
Griffis has an eye for historical detail and a deft hand when it comes to plotting. - Crime Reads
